Group 5 - Metaphor
A metaphor is a a phrase comparing two things without using "like" or "as".
Using metaphors is important for explaining things such as im so thirsty i could drink a whole ocean.
It is also used as a figure of speech. Mostly used to show how hungry or thirsty you are. To exaggerate something.



Here are some examples-

"The road ahead was a ribbon of moonlight"

"Life is a rollercoaster"

"Her voice was music to his ears."

"You are the light in my life"

“I'm dead tired”
